You may remember Qaasim from his awesome run on American Idol Season 14, when he performed with Chris Brown and Pitbull and was lavished with praise from J-Lo, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban.

After returning from American Idol, The Juggernaut War Party concept was birthed at AFROPUNK Brooklyn Battle of the Bands on June 22, 2015, when Qaasim and his band mates entered the contest to showcase their skills and original Funk/Rock/HipHop/Soul fusion material. They did extremely well for a brand new group, making it to the very end, eliminated in the Finals. Qaasim & The Juggernaut War Party returned the following year and won the online voting round and the preliminary round and went on to win Runner-Ups in the Finals and, thus, won a spot to perform live on stage at the AFROPUNK Festival. This group will absolutely delight you with music that will touch your heart and soul.
